Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2014, ON 2/24/2015. THE YEAR MAKE OF THE VEHICAL IS 2014 ON THE INSIDE STICKER, BUT THE MODEL # OF THE ENGINE IS 2013. THE VEHICAL WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCK, CLUNKING SOUND AND IT HESITATED TO START. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK, OR ENGINE DAMAGE HAD OCCURED. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCATIONS WITHIN 6 MONTHS. IN MORE THAN 5 OCCATIONS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO SPEED UP, OR TO CHANGE LANES THE VECHICAL ACCELERATING IS STUCK AND KEEPS ACCELERATIMG IN AN UPWARD RHYTHEM. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL DURING TIME THE VEHICAL IS ACCELERATING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED AT HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICAL, HONDA THIS DAY HAD THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY CHRYSLER TOURING 200, 2013 MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH THE VEHICAL, AND NO ADDITIONAL SERVICE NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH WITH SAFECAR.GOV READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS FOR THE CHRYSLER 200 TOURING 2013. I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN MORE COURTEOUS, OR HELPFUL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISK, AND PROBLEMS DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CHRYSLER TOURING 200 2013. I WAS TURNED AWAY JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER CUSTOMERS, BUT WHAT IF MY CAR STALLS ON THE FREEWAY, THAN WHAT? MY CAR IS A POTENTIAL DANGER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I FEAR I WILL BE A VICTUM OF THE "LEMON LAW."
